Telemedicine is a rapidly expanding technology to deliver medical exams and treatment to patients over the Internet. In remote areas of the world it is reaching patients who have no other way to receive medical care. In the U.S., the Telemedicine industry till total $2 billion in 2018 and is predicted to grow another $1 billion per year for the foreseeable future. The doctor or nurse can have a conversation with the patient through software similar to Skype or Face Time, in real time. Today's technology is truly astounding. This book shows both doctor and patient how to use webcams so the experience closely parallels an in-person visit to a clinic or a doctor's office.Telemedicine's primary advantages are cost and convenience. There is no need for an appointment, no need for transportation, no delay in diagnosis and treatment. Once they're comfortable with it, patients tend to check in more frequently and ask more questions. Doctors and nurses can do a better job of follow-up care with Telemedicine. And it can sharply reduce the cost and patient overload in hospital emergency rooms. Author Clarence Jones is a former prize-winning TV reporter who currently has eight other books in print. He is a master story teller and teacher.
